DATA


CEPII's geographical data in excel or in  Stata 8 format.
CEPII's bilateral distances and other variables useful for gravity  in excel or in Stata 8 format.
Explanatory notes for those datasets jointly developed with Guillaume Gaulier and Soledad Zignago.
 This dataset (available as a zipped Stata file) provides market potential of the Redding and Venables (2004) type for a large range of countries  over the 1960-2003 period, and following several methodologies.  Please cite

when using it.

This dataset (available as a zipped Stata 8 file) provides data used in Mayer and Zignago (2005), which involves trade and production figures in a compatible industry classification for developed and developing countries. Those come from the Trade and Production 1976-1999 database made available by the World Bank, which compiles this data for 67 developing and developed countries at the ISIC rev2 3-digit industry level over the period 1976-1999. The original data comes principally from United Nations sources, the COMTRADE database for trade and UNIDO industrial statistics for production. The World Bank files have a lot of missing values for production figures in recent years. We largely extended the database on this aspect using more recent versions of the UNIDO CD-ROM together with OECD STAN data for OECD members. We also completed the trade data, using the CEPII database of international trade (BACI). The resulting database has 26 ISIC 3-digit industries over the 1976-2001 period for a large number of countries. For more details see Mayer and Zignago (2005).

Those two datasets (available as a zipped files) provide data  needed to replicate results from Martin et al.  (2008): forthcoming in the Review of Economic Studies:

Gravity regressions
Military conflicts regressions
